Area Attractions:

Seaside is a fantastic destination in walking distance and is most widely known for being featured in the Truman Show with Jim Carrey. Its incredible architecture has helped to make it famous but also its faithful replication of the kind of seaside town that used to be common up and down the coast. Seaside has its own Farmer's Market, post office, Repertory Theater and neighborhood school. It boasts unique shopping, fantastic cuisine and the incredible architecture that makes Seaside famous, There are activities for everyone; kayak rentals, bike rentals, paragliding, fishing, golfing, hiking, swimming, tennis -- you'll find it all right here.

The snorkelers in your group will love the new artificial reef called Sea Turtle Reef, deployed in 2017. Located just 783 feet out from the Grayton Beach State Park access, it is becoming a haven for sea life. Each of the 4 snorkeling reefs comprises 40 acres of permitted sea bottom. The Sea Turtle Reef is at a depth of 12-19 feet. We strongly recommend that snorkelers use a kayak, paddleboard, or other flotation device when visiting the snorkel reefs. Sea conditions can and do change quickly and often. Enjoy!

Very good; very bad
Very Good: this is an older but updated house that worked perfectly for our family, mostly because it's right on the beach one house from an access point. Very Bad: all 16 of us arrived at the scheduled time but we couldn't move in because it HAD NOT BEEN CLEANED. RealJoy scrambled to find people to do a quick, partial clean but we had to mingle around outside for a few hours before unloading our cars. AND literally hundreds of rowdy teens gathered on the beach every night right in front of the house. VERY NOISY and VERY BIG MESS to clean up.

Family time
We all had a great time! The location was superb, bicyclesl were much used. Plenty of space. Furnishings were very dated, rug in living room very dirty. No way to get outside ventilation. Landscaping really needed to be cleaned up. But it certainly served its purpose - was great for family time!
